Hello from Idaho; this is my first time posting so please go easy on me. I am a proud gas-man (no judging...it just works for me right now) but until I joined up with this group I was not familiar with GrillGrates. After poking around this website for hours I see Meathead write things like "If you own a gas grill, I cannot recommend GrillGrates more enthusiastically as a replacement for your factory grates or on top of your factory grates for all your cooking." Assuming Meathead is not being mind-controlled by GrillGrates I have decided I better pick up a set of GrillGrates and see what all fuss is about. However, after trying to research these little buggars I have two lingering questions I am hoping the collective wisdom of my BBQ brothers and sisters can help me with. I again quote Meathead:
"If you leave a gap between the GGs, you can easily set up a 2-zone cooking system. The air gap is a great way to keep one side of the grates from heating up."
From what I can tell when I order my GrillGrates they will be custom cut to fit my Genesis II and will fit nice and snug in my grill box, meaning I don't understand how I will be able to leave an air gap between zones using my GrillGrates. Do I simply remove an entire GG section (seems like too large of an air gap)? Does anyone have any insight for a simple backwoods boy like myself on this matter?
My other question is secondary as I look forward to experimenting myself, but I seem to drawn to the idea of leaving the GGs updside down and doing most of my cooking on the griddle side... anyone want to make an argument for the GGs usually being better right-side up?
Thanks in advance to all.
